    三、 阅读理解（共20小题，满分40分）

    As one approaches  some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.

        Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads. It had a “Slow” sign, so he slowed down when he came to  the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming,  and then drove across without stopping completely.

        At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a noteb ook and pencil in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at the crossing.” “But the sign there doesn’t say “Stop”,” answered Mr. Williams. “It just says “Slow”, and I did go slow.”  The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’ll be blowed. I am in the wrong street!”

    1. Which of the following statements is correct?

    A. Stop signs can be found at every crossroads.

    B. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers never have to stop.

    C. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers have to stop and then go slow.

    D. At some crossroads, drivers needn’t stop or go slow.

    2. What do you think the policeman would do in the end?

    A. Fine Mr. Williams.                     B. Take him to the police station.

    C. Apologize to Mr. Williams.            D. Give Mr. Williams his notebook and pencil.

    3. Which might be the best title for this passage?

    A. Signs at the crossroads               B. A careful driver

    C. A policeman and a driver            D. Policeman in the wrong street

    The man known as the French “ Spiderman” climbed The New York Times building on Thursday to draw attention to global warming, and six hours later another climber made the same climb.
    Alain Robert, 45, the first person to climb the 52-story skyscraper, told reporters ahead of the climb on the UN World Environment Day his aim was to raise awareness of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time.
    His manager Julie Cohen said she knew nothing about the second climber. She added that Robert’s climbs were without risk and he was a professional climber.
    Robert climbed without equipment except for climbing shoes. He was greeted at the top by the police who arrested him. 
    The second climber was also immediately arrested at the top by police. His climb at the height of the evening rush hour drew crowds and was shown live on at least one TV station.
    Several people in the crowd shouted“jump” when he stopped part of the way to rest, but there was a loud cheer as he reached the top. Wearing red pants , black climbing shoes and a white T-shirt that read “ Malaria(疟疾) No More”, the man laughed as he was led away by the police from the building.
    “ We don’t look at him as a modern spiderman,” said James Coil, a member of the police emergency services unit. “ We look at him as somebody who not only puts his life at risk but is one of members of the public as well.”
    Martin Edlund, director of “ Malaria No More”, which aims to prevent the one million yearly deaths from malaria, said the climber had nothing to do with them, but they appreciated his enthusiasm.
    56.When was Alain Robert arrested at the top of the building by police?

    On October 16th 1987, southern Britain was hit by a hurricane, the worst storm to hit Britain since 1703.

    Twenty years later, Britain is remembering the disaster known as The Great Storm. 15 million trees across the area were uprooted by the wind, and a wet autumn had made the ground very muddy (泥泞的).

    The falling trees caused damage to buildings and vehicles, and blocked roads and railway lines, forcing everyone, from adults to schoolchildren to stay at home.

    There were also blackouts across the area, as power lines were damaged by falling trees and flying debris (残骸). People used candles and flashlights (手电) for light, and gas stoves and open fires to cook food.

    The storm lasted for 4 hours, and killed 18 lives. The bad weather caused so much damage mostly because of the fact that most people were completely unprepared, and be-cause many weather forecasters didn’t think it could cause a problem.

    Earlier that week, weather forecasts had predicted severe (严重的) weather, but forecasters thought it would miss Britain and only affect the English Channel. A well-known weatherman, Michael Fish, ever said that the storm wouldn’t happen, though in fact he was talking about a hurricane in Florida at that time.

    The unusual storm caused more than ￡1billion in dam-age, and hundreds of people were injured.

    Could the same thing happen today in Britain? Well, as a result of climate change many people think that sudden and severe weather changes are more likely. However, technology has improved, and satellites give us a much more accurate(精确的)picture of future weather. If another Great Storm comes along, the British public will probably be warned earlier and have more time to prepare!

    56. The bad weather in 1987 in Britain caused a lot of damage because ______.

    A. it caused a great flood                    B. most people were not prepared

    C. it happened in the summer                            D. there was no weather forecast

    57. Which of the following was NOT one of the effects of The Great Storm?

    A. There were a number of deaths and injuries.   B. The electricity went out.

    C. It hit Florida first.                                D. Roads and railway lines were blocked.

    58. One week before The Great Storm, weather forecasts ______.

    A. could not predict severe weather at all

    B. had predicted the severe weather, but some weather forecasters thought it would miss Britain

    C. showed that the terrible storm would not hit the English Channel

    D. showed that The Great Storm would affect both England and Florida

    59. We learn from the last paragraph that ______.

    A. this kind of bad weather will not happen in Britain again

    B. bad weather will happen more frequently in Britain now

    C. people will be better prepared if there is bad weather in Britain now

    D. bad weather may be stopped with the development of technology

    第三部分 阅读理解 （ 共两节，满分40分）

    第一节      (共15小 题；每小题2分，共30分)

    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    “How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.

    This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought.

    Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.

    Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.

    56. In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ________.

    A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it

    B. to forget your own native language

    C. to translate everything into his own language

    D. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules

    57. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. ”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.

    A. help you to study English well      B. stop you mastering English

    C. make English easy to learn         D. help you notice mistakes

    58. Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means________.

    A. to get a knowledge of English by touching

    B. to be able to read and write English

    C. to translate English into your own by imagining

    D. to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language
